With a cracking new tactical feature and dedicated UI "strike team", Football Manager 27 is a huge step back towards FM's best form

The short version
- Football Manager 27 is a big, much-appreciated step in the right direction.
- In a way it's a step back - this is essentially the game I wish FM26 had been - but sometimes that's necessary.
- This is a Football Manager game again.
What happened
With FM27, and those technical challenges seemingly now overcome, "we just focused on gameplay and making sure that the game resonated with our community," Boicherot continues. "We focused all our efforts into this.
Why it matters
We still used a lot of these new philosophies to empower the interface, but with more of a familiar feel, and with just more efficiencies all throughout." Ant Farley, senior features manager at Sports Interactive, put it similarly.
